If only we'd have sacked Jose sooner, this approach would surely have us firmly in the mix. And we'd have had more confidence in the final

Yeah agreed but considering his lack of game time think he’s done well. Even if it is against Sheff Utd.
Yeah but his lack of game time is due to him not putting it in. Had he have been grafting like he has today, he wouldn't be lacking match fitness.

The high press has been brilliant pity we haven’t made them pay a few times from nicking it! Some lovely stuff played in that half

Not too shabby first half but we need be better at the finish.
Kane with a golden opportunity to score but decided to shoot rather than take a breather and place his shot

That’s perfect way to describe gio he knits things together. He’s actually quite like modric when he signed abs people didn’t rate him early on, the more he plays with us the more fans will see just how quality he is.

I think both him and Lamela are better when they're on the pitch together as well.

Really enjoyed that half.

Dele playing great, especially considering how rusty he must be. Front 3 are bossing it.

Our pressing even after going 1-0 up was beautiful to see.

Thought that was a decent first half, we seemed to lose a bit of fire for 5-10 mins in the middle but got it back with the goal.

Bale for me hasn’t done huge amounts in the game overall, but that’s why you stick him out there, he’s world class, even when he isn’t having a huge effect he can pop up with a quality goal.

Wish Regi would get on his feet a bit quicker when he doesn’t win free kicks.

Wish Kane would stop taking free kicks!

I actually think Dele has done better tonight, played some good passes, and has looked strong inholding off tackles too.

Decent half over all, how refreshing is it to see us pressing and actually wanting to have the ball.

Good first half, we just need to score more goals.
Dele trying but rusty.
Lo Celso making a big difference
Great Gareth goal
Serge Aurier good fist half.

Nice to at least dominate possession. I know it’s only S United but we have failed to do so against almost every team this season. Need to move the ball quicker and play with confidence. I guess though that is hard to do when you don’t play regularly together.

Huh... don't know whether I would like NDombele to come on for Dele or even Hojbjerg, or just not at all... Nice and controlled. I would like a little more carry from midfield, just a few times we have been too pedestrian when the ball is at Dier's feet and the movement isn't there.

Enjoying this. Great to finally see some movement off the ball from more than one player at a time.

Nice tempo to our play. (y)

Nice half, solid front play, good to see the ball being moved around crisply. Dele has grown in to the half, off the pace to start with but better as the game went on. Don't think we need any changes at half time for the first time in ages.

Only thing I hope it's that when we get a permanent manager they have the balls to tell Kane to stop taking free kicks.

It’s only half time and the opposition are shite but it shows you the potential of this team if they received some actual coaching.

just playing devils advocate a bit but it’s the first time in ages they’ve had 3 games in 14 days rather than 6 games in the same period
